Bottle from Flink Gegist, Delft. Aroma is dark malt, dark fruits, prunes, coffee, blackcurrant, chocolate, and some liquorice. Flavour is sweet and moderate bitter. Body is a tad above medium. Not your typical Impie with its heavy dark fruits, then some more familiar flavours kick in with chocolate, coffee and dark malts. Anyway, I found it quite tasty.
